Inner City Blues Lyrics


Rockets, moon shots
Spend it on the have nots
Money, we make it
Before we see it you take it
Ah, make me wanna holler
The way they do my life
Make me wanna holler
The way they do my life
Listen baby, this ain't livin
No, this ain't livin
Inflation no chance
To increase finance
Bills pile up sky high
Send that boy off to die
Oh, they make me wanna holler
The way they do my life
Oh, they make me wanna holler
The way they do my life

Oh, listen baby, this ain't livin
No, no baby, this ain't livin
No, no, no, no, no
Hang ups and let down
Bad breaks, set backs
Natural fact is
That I can't pay my taxes
No
Oh, they make me wanna holler
And throw up both my hands
Oh, they make me wanna holler
And they don't understand
Oh, listen baby, this ain't livin
No, no baby, this ain't livin, this ain't livin
Oh, no, heh
Crime is increasin
Trigger happy policin
Panic is spreadin
God knows where I'm headin
No
Oh, they make me wanna holler
And throw up both my hands [The way they do my life]
Oh, they make me wanna holler
And they don't understand [The way they do my life]
Oh, listen baby, this ain't livin
No, no baby, this ain't livin, this ain't livin, this ain't livin
Oh, no
This ain't livin, no, no, no, no, no
Hey

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

Carla Cook is a Grammy-nominated jazz vocalist. A Detroit, Michigan native, music seized hold of Cook at an early age. As a student at Cass Technical High School she played string bass in the school orchestra, studied piano and voice on weekends, and sang in her church’s choir. An elder brother introduced her to jazz, Cook chose voice as her instrument of choice, and she became a disciple of jazz icon Eddie Jefferson, founder of a singing technique called ‘vocalese’ where a singer sings lyrics to a famous instrumental solo.
